NEW ZEALAND SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA EXPERIENCE
Music is everywhere in our lives and we all listen
to it in different ways. That’s why the New Zealand
Symphony Orchestra created Experience concerts,
where we bring you music in different settings and
new, innovative ways.
Think you know everything about going to the
orchestra? Think again.
The Shed Series isn’t just a concert series, it’s
a chance to catch up with friends and enjoy an
evening of music in a relaxed environment. Grab a
drink, sit or stand, get up close to the Orchestra or
find a spot to sit back and relax. The Shed Series
performs a mix of traditional and contemporary
works in a setting that works for you.
NZSO Concertmaster Vesa-Matti Leppänen both
directs and performs as he leads the Orchestra in
the Baroque Series. The NZSO presents music by
Telemann, Handel, Corelli and Fux and features
Section Principal Flute Bridget Douglas in Vivaldi’s
Flute Concerto La Notte.
The NZSO will take you to a galaxy far, far away with
screenings of the films Star Wars: A New Hope and
The Empire Strikes Back with live orchestra.
The Orchestra has a proud tradition of reaching out
to people and communities through our Learning &
Connecting programme. In 2019 we again present
a variety of concerts and events, from education
and performance opportunities to accessibility
activities, where we bring the joy of symphonic
music to all New Zealanders.
Music is for everyone and the NZSO presents
a diverse and engaging series of concerts in 2019
for all lovers of music. We can’t wait to see you there.

2019 NEW ZEALAND SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA SHED SERIES
Anne Loeser First Violin
Shed Series is a bit different. It doesn’t always put the
Orchestra on stage or expect you to sit in one place
while you listen. Instead, it’s a relaxed and informal
way to enjoy a diverse range of music, whether you’re
an NZSO regular or exploring orchestral music for the
first time.
In the laid-back setting of Wellington’s Shed 6
you can get up close to the NZSO as it performs great
classics alongside exciting 20th and 21st century
compositions. The Shed Series concerts have a
casual, inviting atmosphere. You can sit or stand, catch
up with friends in the breaks and enjoy a drink and
something to eat while the Orchestra performs.
2019 features classical, jazz, tango, world music,
New Zealand compositions and more. You can hear
Bach, Mozart and Haydn alongside 20th century
composers Ravel, Milhaud, Ellington, Revueltas
and Piazzolla or today’s stars, including John Adams,
Derek Bermel, Eve de Castro-Robinson, Jack Body,
Leonie Holmes, Krzysztof Penderecki and Radiohead’s
Jonny Greenwood.

Music constantly evolves and changes, with styles and musical
periods reborn in completely new and different ways. Shed Series
2019 begins with a summer concert celebrating the influences
classical and jazz music have had on each other.
Rebirth
Opening with New Zealand composer Jack Body’s hypnotic
Fanfare for Bert, African rhythms and world music influences can be
heard throughout this jazz-tinged work.
The concert also features the Black, Brown and Beige Suite by
legendary composer, pianist and bandleader Duke Ellington. The
work boldly addresses African-American history and premiered in
1943 at Carnegie Hall, a rare feat at the time for an African-American
composer.
Many musical styles, including jazz, have been influenced by
Bach’s music. This concert includes two Bach solo cello and violin
works, along with revered Estonian composer Arvo Pärt’s salute
to Bach, Wenn Bach Bienen gezüchtet hätte (If Bach had been a
Beekeeper).
With great music, food and wine, is there a better way to enjoy
a summer’s evening?

Concert two in the Shed Series 2019 is an eclectic and inventive
selection of music in which the concept of ‘responses’ is explored by
different composers.
Acclaimed Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki’s sonic
masterpiece for strings Polymorphia is matched with Radiohead
guitarist Jonny Greenwood’s compelling 48 Responses to
Polymorphia. Penderecki and Greenwood worked together, and this
will be the first time the NZSO has performed these works in the
same concert.
Also featured will be Haydn’s Symphony No. 38 The Echo,
Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin, Leonie Holmes’ Elegy and a rare
performance of Mexican composer Silvestre Revueltas’ intoxicating
Homenaje a Federico García Lorca (Homage to Lorca). This unique

work for orchestra, which premiered just two months after the
Spanish poet Lorca was murdered in 1936, is inspired by Mexican
folk music.

Mozart Symphony No. 32 in G major, K. 318
JS Bach / Webern A Musical Offering: Ricercare
Webern Symphony, Op. 21
John Adams Chamber Symphony
Sinfonietta Orchestras come in all shapes and sizes. Sinfonietta presents an
evening of rhythmic and adventurous music written for smaller
chamber orchestras, ideally suited for the intimate space of Shed 6.
Live performance is key to bringing music to life, so some
20th-century composers wrote music for chamber orchestras to
ensure their new and inventive works were performed.
The concert opens with Argentine tango composer Astor
Piazzolla’s Sinfonietta. Piazzolla is considered the greatest tango
composer and Sinfonietta captures his exquisite earthiness in all
its glory.
Eve de Castro-Robinson’s Cyprian’s Dance, an exciting work for
strings, was commissioned by the NZ Chamber Orchestra and first
performed in 1995.
Lauded American composer John Adams’ virtuosic Chamber
Symphony was inspired by Arnold Schoenberg’s Chamber
Symphony No. 1. The work’s third movement, Roadrunner, alludes
to the music of the Roadrunner cartoons, which can be felt in the
unbridled energy of the piece.
Anton Webern features twice, with his Symphony Op. 21 and
the composer’s arrangement for chamber orchestra of the Ricercare
from Bach’s A Musical Offering.

The finale of the 2019 Shed Series presents a programme of light,
relaxing music to entertain as we head towards the end of the year.
Grammy Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer John
Luther Adams’ Become River is a beautiful and meditative piece of
music inspired by the natural world and is part of a trilogy of works
including Become Ocean and Become Desert.
Derek Bermel’s Canzonas Americanas conjures up the
North American continent with elements of Native American blues,
rock, funk and other inspirations, including American music giant
Aaron Copland.
French composer Darius Milhaud will take the audience to
Brazil with Saudades do Brasil, a mesmerising musical journey
through the sights and sounds of Rio de Janeiro.
Oboist Russel Walder joins the NZSO to perform three of
his own works specially arranged for oboe and orchestra by John
Psathas. These pieces are inspired by the concepts of meditation

and self-awakening and audiences can expect a mesmerising,
otherworldly live performance.
Jeff Tyzik’s arrangement of The Nutcracker Suite, by Duke
Ellington and long time collaborator Billy Strayhorn, will have
you snapping your fingers to the beat of this much-loved jazz
interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker.

2019 NEW ZEALAND SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA BAROQUE SERIES
Andrew Joyce Brigid O’Meeghan Cello Joan Perarnau Garriga Bass
Baroque music is classical music at its purest and
most transparent, while still including all the elements
of human emotion. Performing it is a challenge as you
want to stick to the period style as much as possible,
while at the same time being creative and musically
engaging, showing the emotions behind the themes
and motives.
As we perform without a conductor, we rely upon
and react to one another making the performance
experience intense and inclusive.
Every musician on stage is actively shaping and
voicing the music; this and the fact that the music
itself is stunning in its beauty, makes the series an
extremely rewarding experience for both performers
and audience.
The Baroque Series is different from other NZSO
concerts in that the music chosen is exclusively from
the Baroque period, 1600-1750.
Where we perform baroque music is also very
important. The venues for 2019 were chosen for their
intimate settings, atmosphere and acoustics.
Vesa-Matti Leppänen
NZSO Concertmaster
I loved being a part of the 2018 baroque concert in
Wellington Cathedral of St Paul and I’m looking forward
to playing Vivaldi’s Flute Concerto La Notte with NZSO
Concertmaster Vesa-Matti Leppänen directing.
Vivaldi gives the flute soloist a varied workout
with long phrases and trills in the slow movements,
then contrasts this in fast movements with explosive
and technically challenging sections – lots of cross
fingerings that aren’t natural!
The churches we perform this music in around
New Zealand have such beautiful acoustics – exactly
the types of places that Vivaldi intended his music to
be played (his music was most often performed at St
Mark’s Basilica in Venice in his time).
Vivaldi is always so uplifting and exciting to both
listen to and perform, and it’s going to be one of my
personal musical highlights of 2019.

Vesa-Matti Leppänen Director/Violin
Telemann Water Music, TWV 55:C3
Handel Water Music, HWV 348-350
Sense the waves crashing and the current pushing you along in
these two great works from the late Baroque period.
Telemann’s Water Music is an inventive orchestral suite and
highly descriptive work in ten movements. You can feel the ocean’s
movement, mythological water deities sleeping, in love, joking,
angry and, then, finally, the happy sailors at the Hamburg port. It
celebrates the importance of the sea and the port and how both
provided prosperity and livelihood for the city.
An evening trip up London’s river Thames seems an unlikely
place to debut one of Handel’s most well-known pieces, but this
is exactly the story behind Handel’s Water Music. King George I
requested that Handel write a piece of music to be performed on
a barge on the Thames, as he and his aristocratic friends travelled
up the river on a summer’s evening in 1717. As the river Thames
filled with boats and ships, Handel and his orchestra performed the
masterpiece to celebrate the beauty of the river and the reign of
Handel’s friend.

Corelli Concerto Grosso in D major, Op. 6 No.1
Telemann Overture-Suite in D, TWV 55:D21
Vivaldi Flute Concerto in G minor, Op. 10 No. 2 La Notte
Fux Overture in D minor, E109
Telemann Overture-Suite in D, TWV 55:D22
As a violinist and composer, Corelli played a major role in the
establishment of the Concerto Grosso, where a small group of
soloists perform within a larger ensemble. Corelli’s Concerto Grosso
in D major uses this style to great effect, as melodies are passed
between small and large ensembles within the work.
Telemann’s family preferred for him to study law and forbade
him from playing or learning music. He composed in secret and by
age 12 had created the opera from which Overture-Suite D21 was
derived, including, in Vesa-Matti Leppänen’s opinion “one of the
most beautiful movements ever written.”
La Notte (The Night) is the second of Vivaldi’s six flute
concertos from his Opus. 10. Performed in several short movements,
it has a sense of the supernatural about it. NZSO Section Principal
Flute Bridget Douglas features, taking on what she considers a
rewarding, but technically challenging workout.
Johann Joseph Fux could be considered a forgotten genius
of the Baroque period. As a theorist, his ideas explored harmony
and intervals in music through mathematics. As a composer, his
Overture in D minor lets you hear the beauty in its mathematical
pureness.
Telemann’s Overture-Suite D22 is a fitting ending to the
programme. Again, Telemann shows his skills in describing feelings
and emotions in a work that showcases his brilliance.
